Travel and Tourism - Amazing Siberia’s surface
Making 77% of the total area of Russia with its 5.1 million square kilometers, amazingly enough Siberia’s surface comprises almost 10% of the Earth’s land entirely.
With a population of 38 million people of which roughly 70% live in the big cities, there are still many other towns that can not be be reached via roads like the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which is surrounded by volcanoes and has a very developed tourist infrastructure from bear hunting to para-gliding, yet quite expensively it can only be approached by airplanes.

Siberia’s extremely diverse conditions, can make some of the world’s most beautiful sceneries, with swampy plains in the west, dense forests in the central plateau, and over 3,000 meters tall mountains in the eastern region. To the north, temperatures may reach even -90.4 degrees (-68 Celsius) in winter.
Lake Baikal, in the eastern region of Siberia is the biggest and deepest freshwater lake in the world, with the purest water of all lakes, giving it the nickname the Pearl of Siberia.
The world’s longest railway can also be found here. The Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Vladivostok covers a distance of almost 10,000 kilometers. A full trip will take 6 days of travel, crossing 8 timezones.
